However, the biggest win of the day belonged to fifth place Crawley Green Reserves.

With leaders Totternhoe Reserves sitting the afternoon out Riseley Sports missed the chance to top the table when they were held to a 0-0 draw at Henlow.

Lewis Bloomfield with a home hat-trick seeing his goals cancelled out by a brace from Ethan Tenn and a strike from George Norton for the Rovers.

Division Three

There is no change at the head of Division Three following wins for the top two sides. Kempston Athletic stay four points clear after extending their unbeaten ways up to 11 games in chalking up home win number six on the bounce in beating Lidlington United Sports 2-1, Craig Damon and Luke Mongiovi on the Athletic scoresheet against a United reply via Tom Staples.
